(Verse 1)
A
Forgive me master if I hear
E F#
No rhyme in your glory ode
D A E
As it was sung in the days of yore
F#m E7
Now we sing our own
A
You see I got this dream
E F#m
Of turning grey and having cleared off every plate
D A E
And to never look to tomorrow's rogues
F#m E7
To say they went too far today
D A E A
D A E D7 C# B
(Verse 2)
A
To long to waken every soul
E F#m
From the calm that quells their storm
D A E
From the peace that blinds them through the time
F#m E7
When they should have gone to war
A
Mother crying we forlorn our dreams
E F#m
Father hold them through the reigns
D A E
Let the thieves not take her away from me
F#m E7
And turn her to a slave
(Chorus)
D A
Of the dreams
E A
Of the dreams
D A E.....D7, C#, B
Of the dreams
A D A
The dreams are of the morning
D E
Let me nighttime on in
D
May the sirens turn-a shrugging
A D A
As we carry on-a laughing
E D A
As we carry on-a laughing all the way
F#m E D7
laughing all the way
D7 C# B A.....D7, C#, B, A, E7?
laughing all the way
(Verse 3)
A
May there always be fish in your streams
E F#m
And water in your wells
D A E
And those that peddled empty handed
F#m E7
We'll take the silver and run like hell!
A
May there always be rage in your heart
E F#m
When the master brings the reins
D A E
To detest the thieves of our daughters and sons
F#m E7
And raise from the dead
(Chorus)
D A
Today,
E A
today,
D A
today
E...........D7, C#, B
Hey
A D A
The dreams of the morning
D E
Let me nighttime on in
D
May the devils come a crying
A D A
Carry me away a laughing
E D7 C# B
As we all go a laughing to story telling breaks
A F#m E D7 C# B
To story telling breaks
A F#m E D7 C# B
To story telling breaks
(Ending)
A D A
The dreams of the morning
D E
Let me nighttime on in
D
May the devils come a crying
A D A
Carry me away a laughing
E D7 C# B
As we all go a laughing to story telling breaks
A F#m E D7 C# B
To story telling breaks
A F#m E D7 C# B
A
